Feel like it’s also the fact that the children were truly innocent. Meanwhile Kirk died from a system he very much supported. People are not inclined to extend the same amount of empathy to someone who publicly stated he saw no need for such an emotion, who mocked empathy and argued that a few lives were a good trade for how the second amendment has played out. It is one thing to be saddened by a bird that’s had its wings cut, it’s another to pity a snake that bit itself knowing the risks.
except one is innocent children being starved by a genicidal goverment with the backing of the largest military in the history of the world and one of the largest economic forces in history. the other is charlie kirk the alt right propagandist who spent plenty of time and money making sure those children die horrible deaths
yes he physically went school to school and physically said hateful stuff and physically spread and normalized neo nazi propaganda and physically worked to create an environment ripe for the alt right and physically created a foundation dedicated to alt right propaganda and physically used his wealth he got from being a propagandists to physically support a racist fascist pedophile getting physically elected to office
